  • A lot of gatekeepers in the comments who seem to love the idea of a UBI, but hate any attempt to test the viability of one.

    I think this is a great step towards proving the benefits of a UBI for the greater population. I believe supporting the arts is always a positive endeavour, so using them as the pilot program kills two birds with one stone. I think that randomising who gets to enter the pilot program may allow some people to game the system, but the benefits outweigh the possibility of one schyster scamming a paycheque. The lottery system stops this becoming a bonus for established or famous artists, and supports creatives in all areas.

    All in all, this is a good thing, and the people who want “all or nothing” are short sighted.

    Dunbar testified that he was making $100,000 an episode, and was paid even for episodes in which his character did not appear.

    According to imdb, there are roughly 70 episodes that ran before his firing. Even if he made half that an episode, the guy is set! No pity for the out of touch millionaire and his “religion”.
